How to Make Chipotle Chicken

The chicken for these tacos marinades in a delicious chipotle lime sauce. I highly recommend using boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. If you , just can’t do thighs, go ahead and use a chicken breast. But a thigh is always going to be nice and juicy coming off the grill. Chicken breasts tend to dry out quickly, so make sure to watch them on the grill. Don’t overcook them!

Marinade your chicken for 8-24 hours in a mixture of chipotle chiles, brown sugar, salt, chili powder, lime and vegetable oil. You can turn up the heat as high as you want, just add more chiles. I like a low heat so I only used 2. After marinading your meat place it onto a broiler tray or some kind of metal baking rack.

Broil for 5 minutes on one side and then flip it over and 5 minutes on the other side. You could also throw it on the grill if you prefer.

Then just slice it up and serve it up on your favorite tortilla. We go for corn tortillas at our house. Then add your favorite taco toppings. We used onion, cilantro and lettuce.
